The reality of living with an iPhone, or any smart, connected device, is that it makes reality feel just that little bit less real. One gets over-connected, to the point where the thoughts and opinions of distant anonymous strangers start to feel more urgent than those of your loved ones who are in the same room as you. One forgets how to be alone and un-distracted. Ironically enough experiences don’t feel fully real till youve used your phone to make them virtual—tweeted them or tumbled them or Instagram-med them or YouTube-ed them, and the world has congratulated you for doing so. Smartphones create needs we never had before, and were probably better off without. Source : TIME Magazine via Ramesh Tahiliani
